  World Economics - Recap what happen in 2008
   US Subprime crisis spread to the rest of the world
   Global capital (debt & equity) markets collapsed
   US and European banking crisis
   Flight of foreign portfolio money from Asia and other high yield assets
   Reversal of Yen carry trades accelerated
   Trade credit disruptions
   Perceived counter party risks elevated

  Asia Pacific Economics – 4 key risks
   Potential external demand shock
    Large production capacity build-up – resulting over capacity
   Sharp slowdown in capital inflows and rise in cost of capital
    Risk capital inflows accelerated since 2003 for almost 5 years resulting in price bubbles
   Currency shock
    Dislocations in the balance sheets of many companies and countries with external liabilities
   Increased risk of financial instability
    Australia, India, South Korea and Indonesia most affected because of high current-account deficit and tight banking sector liquidity
